The Hazard Way

What a beautiful weekend in The Great Smoky Mountains! With all this fine weather, I decided to spend a couple days in the always hoppin' city of Gatlinburg. It seems to have a whole calendar filled with things to do this month. The Hazard Run at Cooter's Place was just one of the events the city had to offer. Fans of the beloved "Dukes of Hazard" could see many cars from the series parading through town over the weekend as well as get an autographed picture from either "Cooter" or "Deputy Cletus." It sure brought back a flood a childhood memories. If you ever go to Gatlinburg, stop in at Cooter's Place and give 'em a good "Howdy!"

Another must see while visiting the city is the Gatlinburg Craftmen's Fair. There are arts, crafts, live music, and artists demonstrating on site. This is all taking place at the Gatlinburg Convention Center. Visitors will see over some of nation's finest work and over 200 booths.
Dates are October 7th through October 23rd.

There is also Ripley's Haunted Adventure for those of you who like a good scare. Although they are open 365 days a year, they are celebrating their 12th annual Fright Nights show this year with “Trick or Treat: 15 Nights of Halloween." It lasts from October 1st to October 31st. So get a good spine tingling thrill while you are in are town.
